ALICE

Nabiyah Be

Compositor: Nabiyah Najam Silva Bashir

Alice, hold me on
On to something real
Alice came up right
Right on my ordeal

Playing loud
Playing clear
Playing all the notes so that I could hear

She never doubted

Alice Coltrane is, isn't just a name
And I think that she knew
That I'll never be the same

Got no one (got nobody)
Got no time (got no feelings)
Got no feelings that are mine (got no time)
And there's no one to blame (got no)

She never doubted

Alice, now you won the bet
Know how jazz will make me wet
For the future, I just can't forget
(Get, get, get, get, get, get)

Help me hold to something real
So I know that pain's the deal
I signed right before I learned to feel

Alice (I just remembered that)
This moment's here to say

Alice (eu sei que eu nunca to sozinha)
Coincidence is mind play (my past, my present, my future were the same thing)

Like a child in a fantasy
Alice came to me, yeah
Reminded me how I used to be
Worriless in the company

Of all my oldest friends
And now I know that I will never be the same

With all my oldest friends
And now we know that we will never be the same

Harps and flutes are on
They are on the go
Running like my mind
On a drug's flow

Whirling on (whirling on)
On and on (on and on)
In a whirlwind of my ego's state of mind (in my ego)

She never doubted (to feel everything, that's freedom)

Alice, now you won the bet
Know how jazz will make me wet
For the future, I just can't forget
(Get, get, get, get, get, get)

Help me hold to something real
So I know pain was the deal
But now I know it, and we all know it
This life is worth it

Reminded me how I used to be
Worriless in the company
Of all my oldest friends
Will never be the same
(Never be the, never be the, never be the same)

I just needed an example
Sometimes you just need an example, you know?

I'm so thankful for all the women who were around me
The physical ones and the non-physical ones

Someone who says
On the other side of fear is the whole fucking world
